CHAPTER THREE

{Mia}

I made my eyes into slits as i tried to look at the figure that walked like he owns the land approaching me. The grace at which the stranger walked and the aura surrounding him made me feel more useless, but i cant help but wonder who this stranger is. With shaky breaths i took a fighting stance, when the stranger came out of the shadow.

“Corvan” i gasped out with both relief and confusion. I placed my shaky hand on my chest trying to calm my racing heart.

“holy moon goddess, you scared the shit out of me. what the hell are you even doing here” i asked getting more tensed.

“has he been here since watching me like the creep i always know he is” i found myself deep in thoughts eyebrows furrowed and my button nose scrunched in an unladylike manner.

“ i should be asking you the same question” Corvan stated.”what is a defenseless idiot like you doing in this forest late at night? do you even know where you are”

“ this was not planned” i tried to argue

“are you that foolish, haven’t you been hearing about the increase in the demons attack especially in an area close to this location” Corvan argued back with a displeased look claiming is gorgeous face and damn those hazel eyes such a waste of beauty on this devil.

“did you just call me all those insult cause of one minor mistake? I’ll l have you know that i can hold my own against enemy in a battle” i heaved in annoyance.

“you are a perplexed idiot”

“indecent knave”

“your iq is that of a gold fish, even lower”

“you are such a jerk” i growled out in anger.

“nothing new to that, ami get more creative”

“i am creative you jerk-waden”

“what is that” Corvan said with slight curiosity.

“a new nick-name for you since your name is stupid”n i said smirking.

zero-iana”.” you know since you are always useless anyway” Corvan said while smirking.

“argh” i stomped my feet.”what the hell are you even doing here?”

“well your best friend thinks you have gotten lost and since your direction skill is as useless as you are im sure you don’t know your way back”

“that does not answer my question why did he send you here”

“excuse me, i was not sent here. I volunteered because i know this place like the back of my hand and me being the kind person that i am came to safe your sorry ass” Corvan said. a light hint of amusement in his voice.

“LOST!” i scoffed. “i don’t need your help, i can find my way back on my own” i flipped my hair which had gotten loose from the bun i tied earlier.

i started heading left when i was interrupted

“its the other way” i heard Corvan voice called out.

“i know” i said turning around to follow the direction his hand is pointing to.

“yeah you do” Corvan mumbled.

i pulled my tongue out in a childish manner and passed Corvan.

Corvan and i turned into our wolfs as we made our way back to school grounds without as much as glancing at each other. As i shifted back into my human form i saw a blur of blonde and before i could process anything i was tackled to the ground which knocked the air out of me, leaving me gasping for air and a heavy weight on my body.

“get off me Chase” i said as i tried shoving Chase from my body, Chase being a boy and a wolf did not help as my attempts were useless and i was also feeling drained.

Chase chuckled and got off me, as soon as the human boulder removed himself from me i greedily gasped the much needed air for my poor heart to function well again.

“why did you leave for this long? you never go this far what if something happened to you ill never forgive myself” Chase said in a serious voice.

“don’t worry i just lost track of time, im sorry”

“not accepted, im never leaving your side again”

looking at Chase worried expression i got a sense of deja vu as i remembered the day i got so late from school because of bullies and mom was so worried and scared. i smiled at the memory when reality hit me like a ton of bricks, what happened after that day left a permanent scar on me and it has come along with a handful of nightmares.

i remembered everything like i was watching a movie, the blood that surrounded mom(Lynda), her hands clutching her abdomen, her face twisted in pain as crimson colour decorated the area of lynda stomach, her eyes wide in agony, pain fear and worry. i could’nt do anything as my brother crawled with his good arm and leg as he had been shot on his right leg and left hand with wolfsbane and silver coated bullet, still Adam tried to reach towards lynda. just as he cupped lynda face a bullet pierced through his chest making him slump on the ground, his eyes darting everywhere until they landed on my figure hiding behind a big blue box near the counter in the kitchen. with every ounce of energy he had he mouthed the word “run” many times until his heart gave up on him.

the pain and fear in his eyes hunted me, i stood still on shaky legs, the box was able to block me from the view of the hunters and demons that came for us.

earlier this day Adam and i were making cake when we heard mom blood curling scream, Adam made sure to hid my 12 years old figure promising to be back before heading to the direction of mom scream. he never came back instead i watched as he and mom was murdered.

“Mia you look like you just saw a ghost or more like demon, whats wrong?” Chase said. worry finding a place on his face.

i still recall the emptiness of Adam once warm brown eyes.

i felt my legs give out as i fell but before i reached the ground a firm hand held me by my waist balancing me to his side. Chase stared at me in shock, he has not seen me in this state before. it was as if i was lost in the past i could comprehend things around me but the image of my mom and brother was still vivid.

“demons and hunters, it has always been them. They are always striving to cause caos and pain.” i thought.

Then my world went black.
